Solana Swaps
Manage your Solana wallet: check balances and swap tokens using the Jupiter aggregator.
Environment Variables
These environment variables are pre-configured and available for use:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH |
Path to wallet keypair JSON file |
JUPITER_API_KEY |
Jupiter API key for authenticated requests (avoids platform fees, required for Token2022/pump.fun tokens) |
Note: These are already set in the skill config. Just use $SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH and $JUPITER_API_KEY directly in commands.
Verify Setup
# Check wallet address
solana address --keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH"
# Check Solana CLI config
solana config get
Balance Checking
Check SOL Balance
solana balance --keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH"
List All Token Accounts
spl-token accounts --owner $(solana address --keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH")
Check Specific Token Balance
spl-token balance <TOKEN_MINT_ADDRESS> --owner $(solana address --keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH")
Common Token Mint Addresses

Token Swaps via Jupiter
CRITICAL: Always display swap details and wait for explicit user confirmation before executing any swap.
Step 1: Get Quote
Convert human-readable amounts to raw units:
SOL: multiply by 1,000,000,000 (10^9)
USDC/USDT: multiply by 1,000,000 (10^6)
BONK: multiply by 100,000 (10^5)
# Example: Get quote for swapping 1 SOL to USDC
INPUT_MINT="So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112"
OUTPUT_MINT="EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v"
AMOUNT="1000000000" # 1 SOL in lamports
SLIPPAGE_BPS="50" # 0.5% slippage
# Get quote with API key authentication
curl -s -H "x-api-key: $JUPITER_API_KEY" \
"https://api.jup.ag/swap/v1/quote?inputMint=${INPUT_MINT}&outputMint=${OUTPUT_MINT}&amount=${AMOUNT}&slippageBps=${SLIPPAGE_BPS}" | jq .
Step 2: Display Quote and Request Confirmation
Parse the quote response and display to user:
Input: amount and token name
Output: expected amount and token name
Price impact percentage
Slippage tolerance
Minimum received (otherAmountThreshold)
IMPORTANT: Ask user "Do you want to proceed with this swap?" and wait for explicit confirmation ("yes", "proceed", "confirm") before continuing.
Step 3: Build Swap Transaction
After user confirms, request the swap transaction:
USER_PUBKEY=$(solana address --keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH")
# Save quote response to file
QUOTE_FILE="/tmp/jupiter_quote.json"
curl -s -H "x-api-key: $JUPITER_API_KEY" \
"https://api.jup.ag/swap/v1/quote?inputMint=${INPUT_MINT}&outputMint=${OUTPUT_MINT}&amount=${AMOUNT}&slippageBps=${SLIPPAGE_BPS}" > "$QUOTE_FILE"
# Request swap transaction
curl -s -X POST \
-H "x-api-key: $JUPITER_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
"https://api.jup.ag/swap/v1/swap" \
-d "{
\"quoteResponse\": $(cat $QUOTE_FILE),
\"userPublicKey\": \"${USER_PUBKEY}\",
\"dynamicComputeUnitLimit\": true,
\"prioritizationFeeLamports\": {
\"priorityLevelWithMaxLamports\": {
\"maxLamports\": 5000000,
\"priorityLevel\": \"high\"
}
}
}" > /tmp/jupiter_swap.json
# Extract the swap transaction
SWAP_TX=$(cat /tmp/jupiter_swap.json | jq -r '.swapTransaction')
Step 4: Sign and Submit Transaction
Use the jupiter-swap.mjs script to sign and submit:
node "$(dirname "$0")/scripts/jupiter-swap.mjs" \
--keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH" \
--transaction "$SWAP_TX"
The script will output the transaction signature and a Solscan link.
Safety Rules
ALWAYS display swap details and wait for user confirmation before executing
NEVER execute swaps automatically without explicit approval
ALWAYS check balance before attempting swaps to ensure sufficient funds
WARN users if price impact exceeds 1%
WARN users if slippage is set above 1% (100 bps)
NEVER log, display, or transmit private key contents
Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| "Insufficient balance" | Not enough input tokens | Check balance, reduce swap amount |
| "Slippage tolerance exceeded" | Price moved during swap | Get fresh quote, consider higher slippage |
| "Transaction expired" | Blockhash too old | Get fresh quote and retry immediately |
| "Account not found" | Missing token account | Token account will be created automatically |
| "Route not found" | No liquidity for pair | Try smaller amount or different token |
| "Platform fee not supported" | Token2022 tokens block platform fees | Use authenticated API with $JUPITER_API_KEY header |
Retry Logic
If a swap fails due to network issues:
Wait 2-3 seconds
Get a fresh quote (prices may have changed)
Re-confirm with user showing new quote
Retry the swap
Example Interactions
Check Balance
User: "What's my SOL balance?"
Run:
solana balance --keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH"Report: "Your wallet has X.XXX SOL"
Swap Tokens
User: "Swap 0.5 SOL for USDC"
Get wallet address
Fetch Jupiter quote for 0.5 SOL (500000000 lamports) -> USDC
Display quote details:
- From: 0.5 SOL
- To: ~XX.XX USDC (estimated)
- Price Impact: X.XX%
- Minimum Received: XX.XX USDC
Ask: "Do you want to proceed with this swap?"
Wait for confirmation
On "yes": Execute swap, report transaction link
On "no": Acknowledge cancellation
List All Tokens
User: "Show me all my tokens"
Run:
spl-token accounts --owner $(solana address --keypair "$SOLANA_KEYPAIR_PATH")Format and display token list with balances
